Mrs. Yue was someone who pointed out all your faults when she hated on you.

If her mind was changed, however, she would regard you as a wonderful person in every aspect. She had a protective instinct, and after recognizing Yan Qingsi as her own, she would never let anyone bully the girl. Still lacking was Mrs. Yue’s patience when she heard others insult and curse at Yan Qingsi time and again.

Mrs. Yue carried her bag, held her head high, and walked away proudly.

Helan Xiuse’s heart suffered a massive shock and she muttered, “Auntie Yue…”

Mrs. Yue stopped and turned around. “Oh, one more thing. Don’t bring up our friendship anymore. If you ever return to Su City in the future, don’t visit my home. I can’t stand your stench. It stinks to high heaven.”

Mrs. Yue had walked into the distance, leaving Mrs. Helan pale-faced.

For years, Mrs. Helan had been trying so hard to integrate into the upper-class society and become a dame worthy of admiration. She placed so much effort into it, but in the end, Su Ningmei degraded her into worthlessness. Not even an ant could compare to her.

Mrs. Helan did her best to hide her family background, and she thought she had finally achieved it. Everyone thought that she was born from Su clan’s1 upperclassmen, but now…her face felt a stinging pain.

Those few words from Mrs. Yue’s mouth were far more painful than a hard slap on the face.

Mrs. Helan began cursing out, “Big bully, big bully…”

Helan Xiuse turned frantic and her eyes were red. “Mommy, please don’t get angry. What’s going to happen to me if you fall sick from all that anger?”

Mrs. Helan’s eyes burned a hole in the place that Mrs. Yue was earlier. All that anger caused her eyes to turn red and give off a terrifying wickedness.

“Xiu Xiu, just you wait. Mommy will definitely make you the wife of the Yue family’s young master. No one can stop you from being a part of their family.”

Helan Xiuse shook her head. “Mommy, I don’t want to marry into the Yue family. I don’t want anything. I just want you and Big Brother to be okay. All I want is for our family to be happy…”

Mrs. Helan grasped her daughter’s wrist.

‘Su Ningmei, Yan Qingsi, just you wait!’

With everyone gone, the ward quieted down considerably.

Yan Qingsi wanted to sleep but had insomnia. Her mind was filled with what happened earlier that afternoon.

‘The entire incident definitely had something to do with Yan Ruke, but what reason did she have for telling that to Helan Fangnian? Was it simply because she took a liking to him and wanted to give him a good impression of her?

‘Heh, things were not as simple as they looked.

‘Yan Ruke wasn’t that stupid to expose her misdeeds so willingly. She had no knowledge on such despicable methods, so what was she trying to do?’

Yan Qingsi turned around and suddenly recalled something. ‘Could Yan Ruke have…’ Yan Qingsi frowned. ‘She couldn’t possibly have gone to such lengths!’

As she was thinking about all that, a couple of policemen came to question them about the car explosion.

They posed detailed questions to all three of them. Yan Qingsi recounted the entire sequence of events and emphasized the brakes as well as the car door. Once she was done, Yue Tingfeng added, “I think something been done to the fuel tank too. But since it has already exploded twice, I don’t think the evidence, if any, will be noticeable.”

The policemen nodded and recorded everything.

Finally, one of the policemen said, “This afternoon, there was a woman named Yan Ruke who willingly came to the station and told us about this. She reflected on her actions thoroughly in front of us and provided us with a piece of information. She told us the real person who wanted you dead.”

Yan Qingsi and Yue Tingfeng asked simultaneously, “Who?”

The policeman took out a photograph. “It’s this person. Xu Meifeng… Do you know her?”
